Most people know Tom Atencio as the co-owner of Affliction Entertainment or the ‘T-shirt guy’ as Dana White would put it, however last night, the 42 years young Atencio fought in his second ever professional MMA matchup, on the FFI ‘Ultimate Choas’ card. He was matched up against 25 year old Randy Hedderick, who was making his pro debut, but was 4-3 as a amateur.
The fight started quick with Atencio rushing out with punches, and forcing Hedderick against the cage.
